Question
Write the identity element for the binary operation * on the set R0 of all non-zero real numbers by the rule $\text{a}\times\text{b}=\frac{\text{ab}}{2}$ for all a, b ∈ R0.
Let e be the identity element, then
a * e = a
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ae}}{2}=\text{a}\ \Rightarrow\text{e}=2$
Thus, e = 2 is the identity element with respect to *.
